Meet the Beautiful Mommies Team

Welcome to Beautiful Mommies Blog

My name is Juliann and I am the mother to four amazing children, and grandmother to one precious little girl. I live in Oregon.

Beautiful Mommies blog was started in 2008, as I was raising my children. I wanted to create an outlet in which I could express my thoughts on parenting, seek advice from other mothers, and discover great products and companies that make life being a mother easier. And to make all mommies feel as beautiful as they are!

I am PR Friendly and love working with great companies! Please email me at julin11@peoplepc.com

The Beautiful Mommies Team is growing! Cassidy is my sweet daughter-in-law, and gave birth to her sweet daughter in January.

Cassidy has joined up with Beautiful Mommies to bring a fresh perspective to this blog in regards to Mommyhood.

I will be reviewing products for pregnant mothers, new mothers, babies and children. I love writing articles that focus on keeping babies and children safe, healthy and adorable. I'm also on the hunt for products for new mommies! My daughter, Reylin Elaine, (born in January) inspires me to find the highest quality products made with love.

Meet Myelie!

My name is Myelie. I will be reviewing products that support people who live an active and healthy lifestyle, along with anything that will help bring growing families more convenience and happiness in everyday life. While I am not yet a mother, I am planning to have children in the near future.

For now, I am supporting my hard working husband, Austin who is active duty (Air Force) while he is engaged in a military tour which has moved us across the country. I love helping people discover wholesome, healthy, and happy products that they will love.

A Family, Beauty, Health and Lifestyle Blog

I live in Utah, and there is snow on the ground. I am a second grade teacher, and I am on my feet all day long. My feet not only get cold, but they get pretty sore by the end of the day. It is important that I find footwear that is not only stylish, but comfortable and warm! Thankfully, I know I will always find boots that live up to my expectations at Rockport.com.

I recently found the PERFECT pair, and I am head over heels! (No pun intended.) The Chelsea Water Proof Boot is exactly what I was looking for! I am so impressed with these stylish boots and their snug, warm and comfortable fit.

My Chelsea Boots give me the convenience and comfort of a full interior zipper, for the perfect fit. They are made with Microsuede footbed cover that provides breathability and durability. I love this because my feet aren’t ever sweaty.

If these boots weren’t already great enough for me, they are also waterproof!! I was very happy with how these have a very sturdy looking exterior with being very cozy on the inside. These shoes also have incredible traction control and stability which made me feel more confident walking into work without slipping on ice, and not to mention having a stylish entrance.

If I could have any shoes on earth, I would have a hundred pairs of Rockport boots in all different styles and colors, to go with every one of my outfits. My closet would be filled from floor to ceiling with them!

Not only do they make amazing shoes of all styles, but you can literally RUN in them (I know, because I am on recess duty all week) without any pain! Rockport has the latest styles while having comfort in mind always. I highly recommend this amazing company. Theses shoes are so worth it!

The golden age of Hollywood lasted from the late 1920s up until the 1960s. The films that were produced during this time remain a classic, and they are still watched by millions in this day and age.

Whether it’s old black & white cinematography or colored, even modern film-makers turn to these movies and are in awe of the acting and camera work that dominated these pictures. In other words, you could argue that they have left behind a large legacy, and people continue to be inspired by watching them in this day and age.

When these movies were released, they generated large amounts of money, and people would excitedly sit in their seats, watching the stories unfold on the big-screens.

This is no different from today’s film experience, although technology has significantly advanced such that the visual effects you find in them can be accounted for a large part of today’s movie admiration.

Still, the golden age of Hollywood is never truly outdated, and here are a few ways that it remains a big source inspiration for people.

Captivating and classic movies

All in all, the movies are a classic. They captivated their audience members a few decades ago, and they continue to do so right now as well. In fact, here are a few movies that you should put on your watch-list, as they continue to be considered among the best:

Gone with the Wind

Casablanca

It’s a Wonderful Life

Roman Holiday

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Inspiring modern-day Hollywood movies

When certain films continue to be appraised by people, they also inspire modern-day Hollywood movies and the directors that create them.

There is a long history of events that led up to the creation of modern Hollywood, and a time period that is renowned for experimentation and prestige played a huge role in shaping it. Whether it was romance and drama, western movies, documentaries or horror films, Hollywood was producing a lot for its audience members in between 1920-1960. As technology expanded and grew, so did the aesthetics of the films, but there is always something to be learned and admired from taking a look at the old school movies.

Purchasing actor and actress autobiographies

The greatest actresses and actors that starred in these films are not around anymore, but their acting legacy is also something that current actors can learn from. Not to mention, some people enjoy reading their autobiographies, and thus learning more about these individuals from these books.

Sense of fashion

Fashion is ever-changing, and although some of it comes back, it continues to expand and grow as well. When it comes to the fashion of the Hollywood golden age, these costumes can be found in museums for people to look at and take in their grandeur.

Plus, there are certain styles that will never go out of fashion and that couldn’t be truer than when it comes to silk and velvet, and their usage across different dresses and gowns. If you take a look at current fashion trends, you will start to find similarities between the old and the new, regardless of how much time has passed.

The movies are an artform

To put it simply- the movies are an artform. This is further insinuated by the fact that they are a classic, but they are cinematic art. Even after more years have passed, people can still look back at this time period, and simply be in awe of what directors, producers, actors, actresses and other key members of the crew were able to put together.

It is a story that is forever immortalized, especially so long as you have the technology around to watch it.

For the ultra-fans and enthusiasts

There is one step further of admiration, and that is considered to be the ultra-fans and enthusiasts of this time period. You may have an entire library that is stocked with autobiographies of old actors and actresses, and even the posters within your room could be reminiscent of this period.

The ultimate fans are the ones who may even invest in home décor and furniture that reminds them of the golden age of Hollywood. After all, there is a very specific style that goes along with all of these different eras.

If you are an enthusiast, the chances are that you are spending money on purchasing these types of items, such as posters, books, and even old and limited-edition film rolls. If you make a point of visiting vintage stores, you never know what you can stumble upon, after all.

In the event that you choose to label yourself as a ‘collector’ and want to find collectors pieces from this movie era in Hollywood, you could even argue that a lot of your spare money is spent on this endeavor. After all, it could be your hobby and what makes you happy.

If one day you do find an art piece, film roll, costume, or something else that you are itching to purchase and include as part of your collection, but you don’t have the funds for it, you can always get an online loan. Plus, you can acquire a loan that is sent directly to your bank account within a matter of sections, for which you can learn more about on this page. This does not mean that you will not have to pay back the money, but if you feel that this item is an investment that will make you happy, then it is always worth pursuing.

Although not everyone may be a die-hard fan of the golden age classics, undoubtedly, people will come to agree that there are certain movies that stuck out to them. Whether it was Gone with the Wind, the Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, or another movie, everyone can always find at least one film that they enjoy watching from this time period.

Plus, as soon as you put that film on your screen, it’s as if you are stepping back in time for a moment. You are not only watching an interesting storyline unfold, but rather, you are likely very cognizant over the fact that these movies were produced very differently, as is apparent from their aesthetics.

However, you may just fall in love with an actor or actress so much, that you end up looking for their autobiography and become an even bigger fan. Who knows?

Most moms will agree—your skin definitely changes after you have kids. Whether you see more dark spots, or have just seen your first fine lines appear, if you’re like me— you’re all about learning about skincare methods and beauty products to rejuvenate your skin no matter how many little ones you have running around.

In this post I’m telling my fellow mamas and skincare fanatics 6 skincare myths that will surprise you. Plus, I’ve included some resolutions to help you combat old folklore with some modern skincare techniques.

1. Junk Food Causes Acne

So far, there hasn’t been substantial evidence to support that junk foods cause acne. Now this certainly doesn’t mean you should hop in the car and pick up a bag of fries for you and the kids. But next time you hear this myth, you may want to take it with a “grain of salt.”

2. Aging Causes Wrinkles

While aging may bring some wisdom and experience, it doesn’t technically bring wrinkles. It’s really about a lack of peptides. If you’re asking yourself, “What are peptides?”, you’re not alone. Peptides are basically the pieces that make up protein (like collagen) in your skin. Collagen is one of the main elements that keeps our skin looking young and beautiful.

Using preventative measures like putting on sunscreen, staying hydrated, and moisturizing can help protect your skin and encourage the production of peptides.

3. You Can Shrink Your Pores

There’s a lot of buzz around this one. While you can clear your pores, we’re here to clear the myth that you can actually shrink them. Maintaining a good skincare routine can help flush out the oil buildup in your pores, but unfortunately the size of your pores is actually genetic.

Many beauty companies claim to adjust pore size, but in reality, they’re actually just covering the appearance of them. Many women have found products that effectively cover up their pores, so test a few and let me know what works for you!

4. Facial Exercises Tighten Skin

This one is a tale as old as time— and ladies have been practicing this little skincare myth for ages, but aren’t likely getting the results they’d like to see. While your facial muscles may feel tighter as you make a scrunchy face or raise your brows, there’s not much evidence that supports this exercise when it comes to actually tightening your skin.

However, with a skin myth, there’s always a new solution! Jade facial rollers have become increasingly popular among men and women. Many have noted that these luxurious beauty accessories have promoted elasticity in their skin— plus they happen to feel amazing.

5. Stress Doesn’t Affect My Skin

Stress can be exhausting to your physical health, relationships, and even for your skin. Studies have been conducted during final exam periods— finding that students had experienced acne flare ups in the time surrounding their exams. Taking measures to reduce your stress can help in many areas of your life, even your skin!

6. “I Don’t Need to Protect My Skin from the Sun”

Protecting your skin from the sun is one of the most important things you can to do prevent sun damage and more serious skin conditions like cancer. If you’ve ever fed into this skincare myth, I urge you to think again before heading out without a healthy layer of sunscreen.

Keep your skin beautiful for years to come when you take strong preventative measures.

What’s better than a high SPF sunscreen? Doubling up on skin protection with an SPF sun hat to give you an extra layer between you and skin damage. Make sure both you and the kids are outfitted with proper sun protection, especially during those warm summer months when you’re spending most of your time outside.

Dr. Hauschka Partners With Community Food Banks To Introduce Its New Loyalty Program "The Giving Garden"

Inspired by its global vision of Cultivating a Culture of Care, Dr. Hauschka launches a new loyalty program, The Giving Garden. Centered around the garden of giving concept, as members earn points on the program, Dr. Hauschka will donate fresh produce to local food banks who serve neighbors in need. This format connects the brand and its patrons through the like-minded values of supporting programs that reward and give back in the process.

To kickoff this program, Dr. Hauschka partnered with The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, which serves more than 8.9 million meals to those at risk of hunger and in need of food assistance each year. The Food Bank serves 40% of fresh fruits and vegetables and Dr. Hauschka will make quarterly donations to ensure that fresh produce is available to those in need. The brand will be taking this program around the country and partnering with multiple food banks nationally as the program grows.

To support the launch, The Giving Garden will also consist of a loyalty program for new and returning Dr. Hauschka.com consumers. The three-member tiers will be The Potter, The Beekeeper and The Master Gardener; each tier offering members perks such as holiday exclusives, birthday gifts, early access and more. New Dr. Hauschka customers are able to opt-in to this loyalty program simply with their email.

As ingredients are at the core of Dr. Hauschka's ethos – from sustainably-sourced farms and gardens around the world to key ingredient stories through each product line – it is only fitting that they aim to help gift these ingredients and their benefits to those in need.

If it is possible to be 'in love' with a skin care brand, then I am head over heels with Dr.Brandt Skincare! About a month ago, I was given the opportunity to review some of the best skincare products I have ever tried! My skin has been extremely dry with the colder weather, and I thought it was because I was finally starting to look old! Thankfully, Dr, Brandt Skincare products saved my skin, just like a handsome Prince rescues a Princess, and made me look young again!

A cream-to-foam packed with alpha hydroxy acids and paired with a no-blade tool that, together, lift away dead skin cells to reveal a fresh, radiant, super-hydrated complexion. You simply apply the cream to your entire face, and then you use the no-blade tool, and glide in an upward motion with gentle pressure to lift away the layer of foam. You then rub the remaining cream into your skin.

Neck Sculpting Cream

Neck Sculpting Cream is a neck rejuvenation formula and application process that combines a luxurious cream with traditional Gua Sha technique from Eastern Chinese Medicine. Massaged into skin with the rose quartz tool, it leaves the neck and jaw area looking more toned, sculpted and smooth while increasing the feeling of firmness. Additionally, the product targets “tech neck”, which are the lines below the neck caused by constantly looking down at one’s electronic devices. With continued use, the results are dramatic: enjoy significantly reduced appearance of volume under the chin for a more sculpted looking neck and jawline that appears more youthful and rejuvenated.

Hydro Biotic Recovery Sleeping Mask

A deeply hydrating recovery sleeping mask that balances skin’s naturally-occurring flora and locks in moisture overnight to hydrate, reduce redness, and soothe signs of irritation. This leave-on mask works through the night to reduce redness and signs of irritation while restoring hydration to dry skin in 24 hours. Skin wakes up with a natural glow, looking and feeling refresh, soothed, nourished, and hydrated

No matter how many bras you already own, there's a new bra every woman needs to own. It's comfortable enough to sleep in and it gets rid of wrinkles at the same time! Introducing Bravity -- an anti-wrinkle, no-cup bra that stops the formation of creases and wrinkles in the chest area and smooths out existing wrinkles.

Bravityhas Y-shaped padded straps that go in between the breasts leaving them exposed to allow the natural lymphatic cleaning process to occur. Bravity smooths and supports the chest area while you sleep. Made of nylon and spandex so it’s soft and cool to the touch. Adjustable straps for the perfect fit.

Cleavage creases are caused by the upper breast shifting over the lower breast, creating pressure on the skin. As the skin ages and becomes less elastic, the creases get bigger and deeper affecting women of all shapes and sizes. Wear Bravity to bed at night and watch the wrinkles disappear!

I love my Bravity bras. I received two of them to review. They truly are comfortable to sleep in. I also enjoy wearing them in the day time, because they actually lift my breasts and make them look perkier! Below, I am wearing the Bravity sport bra, which is wonderful for exercising. It keeps chest wrinkles and creases at bay, even when I am working out!

It's funny, because even though these bras were not designed to be sexy lingerie, I walked past my husband wearing one, and my husband definitely turned to look as I walked by him. (He was even playing video games, and I actually caught his attention!) So I know that Bravity bras can be sexy as well as functional.

Weleda, the European skincare brand, announced that it is expanding its cult-favorite Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream to include three new formulas.

For almost a century, Weleda's Skin Food has been feeding our bodies with plant extracts that work in rhythm with the skin to allow one's inner beauty to shine through. The ultra-rich, multipurpose formula derived from farms that follow sustainable principles delivers soft, supple, deeply hydrated skin. Skin Food's nourishing ingredients satisfy skin with nutrients that help unlock a healthy-looking glow. Skin Food has developed a cult following for its plant-rich formulation becoming a must-have item in makeup artist's kits and celebrity homes alike.

The new Skin Food Experience, which includes a product for lips, a body butter and a lighter version of the original, will feature formulas created to help nourish and soothe the skin. Comprised of nutrient-rich lead plants, including rosemary, chamomile, pansy and calendula, the new blends are rooted in different base formulas of sunflower seed oil, lanolin, beeswax, and Shea Butter.

Rob Keen, CEO of Weleda N.A., says, "Skin Food has been a beloved product and a savior for dry skin since its launch in 1926. We are thrilled to bring all the benefits of Skin Food Original to more usage occasions so that fans and new consumers alike can enjoy a total Skin Food experience from head-to-toe."

The new Skin Food Experience formulas include:

Skin Food Light Nourishing Cream: A lighter version of the classic original, the cream formula quickly melts into skin without leaving behind a greasy residue. Delivering a dose of moisture, chamomile and calendula invigorate senses while a base of Sunflower Seed Oil and Shea Butter instantly nourish for a velvety smooth texture. Perfect to use every day and as a light option in warmer weather; suitable for use on face and body.

My skin has been insanely dry and flaky this winter. This light nourishing cream has completely saved my day a few times, when I would look in the mirror and almost cry because my skin was so flaky looking. I literally had facial dandruff! This light formula allowed me to apply it to my face, and it was deeply hydrating, yet not heavy or too greasy for my face. The flakes vanished upon application, and looks and feels very moisturized and healthy.

Skin Food Body Butter: The light whipped texture quickly absorbs into skin all over for a smooth, luxurious feeling. Perfect for any area that needs extra hydration, the rich base of Sunflower Seed Oil, Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter leaves skin intensely hydrated and senses invigorated after a bath or shower.

I apply this amazingly hydrating body butter every evening after my shower, while my skin is still slightly damp. It seals the moisture into my skin and locks it there. It is very soothing, and makes my skin look very young and healthy. It smells very nice, too!

Skin Food Lip Butter: A vibrant blend of viola, chamomile, and calendula soothes and cares for lips while the oil-based formula nourishes. Great for cold weather conditions or when lips need extra TLC, the rich texture softens lips for a smooth finish. I keep a tube of this heavenly lip butter on my night stand, and apply it at night before bed. It keeps my lips velvety soft, and helps my lips to heal of any dryness as I sleep. I have not suffered any kind of chapped lips this winter because of this intense hydration. (I also keep lipstick on all day long, and that also helps.)

Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream: Intensely hydrating, the original formula combines plant extracts with a base of beeswax and sunflower and sweet almond oils to nourish skin. With extracts of rosemary, chamomile, and calendula, this plant-rich ingredient blend is renowned for its moisturizing and soothing effects. I love this extremely rich cream! I use it on my feet at night before bed, and then I put on socks, and my feet are very soft by morning. I use it as my hand cream during the day, and it protects them from the cold and the wind during the day. I also use it on my hands at night for a 'sleeping hand mask.' It deeply penetrates the skin on my hands and keeps them supple as I sleep, allowing the ingredients to work on replenishing and repairing the skin on my hands, which needs extra TLC, especially in the winter.

Kids can quickly become bored and restless when cooped up inside on a rainy day. Rather than allowing them to climb the walls, you should encourage them to have a little fun within the home.

You’ll be glad to know there are many activities that can occupy your children when the weather takes a turn for the worst. Check out the six ways to entertain your kids on a rainy day.

1. Build a Fort

If your children want to escape the home but can’t go outside, allow them to create a brand-new environment by building a fort in their bedroom. Grab a blanket, cushions, and maybe even a large cardboard box and create a unique den where they can go to watch movies or play games.

2. Bake Together

Spending the day inside doesn’t need to be dull. All you need to do is find fun baking recipes, gather up your ingredients and create some delicious treats together in the kitchen. Your kids will love getting their hands sticky and decorating cookies and cakes, and they’ll forget all about playing in the outdoors.

3. Watch Fun YouTube Videos

The internet is filled with many videos your kids are bound to love. The hours will quickly pass by when watching a fun YouTube Channel, such as Shawn Toy Car. Plus, as they’re immersing themselves in a fun video, you can enjoy a little downtime or clean the home without disruption.

4. Create a Family Magazine

Grab some pencils and paper and encourage your kids to create a family magazine. They’ll not only need to decide on what stories to feature, but they’ll need to write the articles and draw pictures.

Maybe they could interview a grandparent over the phone for a story, or they could glue photos of the family into their first edition. They could even add in a fun puzzle or a joke. It’s a great way to occupy your child’s time while sparking their creativity.

5. Host an Indoor Picnic

The rain doesn’t have to stand in the way of a fun picnic. Pull out some blankets, set out dishes and fill the space with drinks, snacks, and napkins. You could even ask your kids to bring along their favorite toy as a guest, so you might need to set out a few extra plates!

6. Enjoy a Disco

Turn down the lights, push back the furniture, turn on the disco ball and dance the rainy day away. Every family member should pick five songs they love to add into a playlist, which you should put on shuffle before busting a move. You could even get everyone to try limbo dancing, the tango, or the can-can – and you can then hand out awards for the best and worst dancer.

As you can see, there are many ways to entertain your kids when the weather is a little miserable outside, from finding fun videos for them to watch alone on a tablet computer to enjoying a disco with all the family.

As 2018 comes to an end and 2019 prepares to make its grand entrance, many people are gearing up for a fresh start. You may be one of those people looking at how they can make this coming year one that’s memorable as well as better than preceding ones. There are different aspects of your life which can be improved, and each often requires different approaches. Nevertheless, if you’re looking to make changes and need a little advice on how to start, you’re going to find some below.

Financial Advisor

One area that most people are always looking to progress in is finances. It can seem like swimming against the tides for many people, but it is possible to get your finances in a healthy place whether you’re single and in debt or managing a family and spread thin. If you can afford it, consider hiring the services of an affordable finance professional as this could help fast track your financial progress.

Solicitor

Seeing as you can never tell when you’ll need legal advice, having a good solicitor somewhere close by is always a good idea. A good solicitor should help you solve any legal challenges and nip them in the bud before they escalate. Some key areas that they could help you in are purchasing or selling commercial property, getting a divorce, shareholder agreements in your business or even resolving construction disputes. If you look for solicitors in Aldershot, you should be able to find a reputable one that you can use for your varying needs.

In case you’re worried about the cost of one, you should know that prices aren’t always expensive!

Health Professional

Your health should be your number one priority in 2019, so if you don’t already have a good health professional, you should think about looking for one. You want to be sure that you’re in the best shape possible as no matter how many plans you make for 2019, without good health, they may never happen. Some qualities of a good health professional are someone who has excellent communication skills, takes a personal as opposed to a generic approach when caring for you, and is empathetic.

If you need extra help and support when it comes to improving your lifestyle, why not consult the services of a nutritionist? They can help you get to the root of any health issues that you may have, create an individualized plan, as well as improve your relationship with food. A good nutritionist can even teach you the skills you need to live a healthier lifestyle which is invaluable information.

Career Advisor

If you’re looking to reach greater heights in your career, then it may be a good idea to get a career advisor in 2019. If you’re confused about which path to take or how to reach your highest potential in your chosen field, then they can help navigate you in the right direction. Another route to getting good career advice would be getting a mentor who you respect that can give you advice on what steps to take to get to your destination.

You are raising children in a world that is constantly developing. For this reason, there is nothing you can do to shield your kids from change, as it will impact them sooner rather than later in their young lives. There are, however, ways to protect them during such a tumultuous time and there are things you can do to help them deal with it.

To see what you need to do to help your children deal with all the instances of change that come their way, check out the advice below.

Give advanced warning whenever possible

Sometimes, you’ll have the luxury of being able to warn your children about an impending change before it befalls them. When you are provided with such a chance, take it. Warning your child about what changes are about to occur is the best thing you can do as it will give them a chance to ready themselves in their own way and time.

The warning you give need not be too detailed, but it should be age-appropriate. A terminal illness in the family, for instance, should be described with the utmost sensitivity. You should warn them about what is about to happen and that somebody will soon not be around anymore, but you shouldn’t go into detail about the illness itself.

Try to make them feel as if they are in control

Change can really scare children due to the way it makes them feel powerless. It is for this reason why you should seek to make your children feel like they are in control of their destiny. If you need to move home in order to be closer to your new office, for instance, you should ask your children things like ‘will you help us pick a new house?’ and ‘will you help us to decorate your bedroom?’ Simple things like this will make your child feel more in control of their change than they actually are.

Protect them from the particularly difficult parts

Some changes, like a change to their diet, will be more of an inconvenience to your child rather than a problem. Some changes, however, will prove to be more difficult. It is the particularly difficult parts that you should seek to protect your child against, as they are the aspects of change that could scar them for life. If you and their other parent seek to divorce, for example, then you should do all of your dealing and arguing as far away from the kids as possible. You should also enlist the help of London divorce lawyers that specialize in family law to ensure you go through the settlement in the right way. Anything less and you will make the situation harder for the kids.

Be the change be something big like a new sibling, a death in the family, a divorce, a home move, or a school move. Or be it something small, like a change to the morning routine, a new pair of shoes, or a new diet. Whatever change befalls your child, just be sure to help them deal with it. By not doing so, you could do more damage than you first realize.
